Chapter 332: Waiting
The uniformed staff's overhaul of the bulletin board also attracted the attention of the surrounding students, and some of them couldn't help but be curious, so they gathered around to try to figure out what was going on with the bulletin board used for voting.
At first, there were few onlookers, but gradually, the number of students increased, and all kinds of discussions and speculations spread.
Technicians are starting to feel some pressure, too. In the face of Ellie and Marina's inquiry, she could only answer truthfully: "If you restore the liquid of the glass pillar, the number of votes will also need to be recalculated......"
"What??"
"But!" the technician wiped his sweat and continued, "but in the box in the back, there is a record of the votes...... So, the votes that have been cast are still in it...... As long as you apply for permission from the organizing committee, you can open it. β
"You guys wait here, I'll go and contact right away. The deputy person in charge left a sentence, shaking his belly, which looked a little round even in a thick uniform, and ran towards the office with a smoke.
When it comes to voting, it's not going to be a trivial matter!
In addition to the tradition of the Winter Festival party, it is also about the reputation and authority of the college!
During the waiting period, the content of passers-by gradually rushed in the direction of brain-opening.
"What's the situation? Is the number of votes wrong?"
"Oh, is it a ticket?"
"Shouldn't it...... I know those two girls sing quite well, and if I don't want to vote for my friends, I'll vote for them. β
"Who knows, I guess I want to light up the sign, right? β
"Why didn't I see it rise when I said voting, it turned out to be broken...... However, this is the first time this has happened. β
"I'm afraid I broke it when I did it, right?"
......
There are good guesses, and naturally there are vicious guesses, and the vicious guesses naturally come from the other contestants who participated in the voting together.
The malice of human beings is often exposed in some small things, not to mention, this is still a competitor with whom they have a direct stake!
Marlena didn't have Ellie's keen hearing and didn't know what people around her were talking about, but Ellie listened to everything around her.
Although the positive comments accounted for the majority, the discordant malicious conjecture also made Ellie feel quite aggrieved and annoyed.
With Ellie's current nature, she probably can't achieve the Buddhist realm of ignoring rumors as nothing.
"Sister Marlena......" Ellie tugged at Marlena's sleeve and summarized what she had heard to Marlena, expressing her concern about the situation.
"It doesn't matter, when the person in charge comes, the misunderstanding will naturally be cleared up. Marlena comforted Ellie, though the expression on her face was still not very relaxed.
The technician had been wiping the sweat from his forehead, and seemed to be working in full view, receiving the students' fingers, which put a lot of pressure on him.
However, things are going for the worse.
Malicious speculation gradually spread, gaining the upper hand in the discussion, and under the guidance of the remarks of some well-intentioned people, the unwitting onlookers gradually listened to that malicious speculation.
More and more students looked at Marlena and Ellie with inexplicable disdain.
Ellie grimaced, eager to explain, but didn't know how to speak. After all, the students were just talking in private, not in front of them. And those who spread rumors have long since patted their butts and left, or hid in the crowd and occasionally come out to fan the flames.
"Hold back. Marlena patted Ellie on the shoulder, seemingly unaffected by the rumors around her, still looking calm.
It's just that Marlena also regrets a little, and she should have explained it earlier, or used other ways to inform the surroundings about what happened here. If we explain it now, it will be almost as effective as zero.
After all, in the case that they already have preconceived prejudices, any explanation of their own, it will seem like a quibble to them. How many people can look at this rationally?
β...... Marlena Ellie?"
A slightly surprised female voice came from a certain direction of the crowd, Ellie only felt that the voice was somewhat familiar, and when she looked in the direction, she found that it was a schoolgirl in a fashionable coat, stepping on a pair of dark red conspicuous boots, and walked up with some hesitation.
"......" Ellie looked at it for a long time, but didn't call out the man's name for a while.
"Angelina. Marlena recognized it at a glance and greeted her politely.
Ellie's eyebrows crooked, looking a little stunned. If you look at it this way, it's really a bit of a hanging...... But, is this person really Angelina?
The last time I saw Angelina, wearing the makeup used for the performance, it was relatively thick, but it was also quite exquisite. And Angelina, who appears now, although she also wears makeup, is almost the same as last time......
Although they can all be regarded as "good-looking", if Ellie doesn't distinguish carefully...... Not recognizable at all, coupled with the interference of the smell of perfume on her body, which is completely different from the last time, even more disturbs Ellie's sense of smell.
"It's ...... What's wrong?" there was a bit of curiosity in Angelina's gaze, but more of a "concern".
At least in the eyes of others, in the eyes of the technician, it was.
"The voting machine for our show is broken. Marina replied nonchalantly: "The technician is repairing it, but it will not be until the organizing committee comes." β
"Oh my God!" Angelina covered her mouth, looking a little surprised: "What about the votes? Will it be affected?"
"Probably not. β
Ellie doesn't have a good impression of Angelina, so she doesn't bother to deal with it, and only maintains a false polite smile. Marlena is much more mature, having a "superficially friendly" conversation with Angelina.
After chatting a few words, Angelina leaned over to the technician and asked about the voting machine. said that she was close to the side, but the distance that Angelina kept was really close, so close that the technician brother could even feel the hot breath coming out of her mouth when she spoke.
The technician brother is obviously not very good at dealing with this kind of enthusiastic and bold girl, although the content of the conversation is his field of expertise, his answer, still a little stammering, and even the roots of his ears are a little red.
Marlena watched this scene quietly, and began to think about Angelina's reason for doing this.
Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief.
The same applies to women.
In a nutshell, a sudden approach is necessarily purposeful. The appearance of this technician brother can only be said to be average, and there is no unique charm on his body that can be discovered at a glance, so why would a girl like Angelina still get together?
Not to mention that you simply want to study magic technology, or is it naΓ―ve and unguarded, or is it commonly known as natural stupidity?
No matter how you look at it, Angelina is not one of the above two people.
So, what exactly are you going to do?
